The Presidents of the United States (UPDATE)

Please indulge me while I paraphrase President Kennedy's inaugural address which was delivered forty-eight years ago today, January 20, 1961:

Let the word go forth from this time and place, to friend and foe alike, that the torch has been passed to a new generation of Americans; born in the second half of the twentieth century....

Well, now!Here'ssome change you can really believe in, baby! By the time the sun sets late this afternoon, Barack Hussein Obama will have been sworn in as the forty-fourth president of the United States of America.

As a public service, I have elected to post this updated versionof a list of the forty-three men who have served in the office (Although Obama is the Forty-fourth president to be elected, he is actually only the forty-third person to hold the job. Grover Cleveland is the only president to serve two non-consecutive terms and is usually counted twice. Go figure).

So here is the new and much improved listing of the Presidents of the United States:

"Fondly do we hope - fervently do we pray - that this mighty scourge of war may speedily pass away. Yet, if God wills that it continue, until the wealth piled by the bondman's two-hundred and fifty years of unrequited toil shall be sunk, and until every drop of blood drawn with the lash, shall be paid by another drawn with the sword, as was said three-thousand years ago, so still it must be said 'the judgments of the Lord, are true and righteous altogether'....With malice toward none; with charity for all; with firmness in the right as God gives us to see the right, let us strive to finish the work we are in; to bind up the nation's wounds; to care for him who shall have borne the battle, and for his widow, and his orphan - to do all which may achieve and cherish a just, and lasting peace, among ourselves, and with all nations."

Wow !! In spite of my cynicism toward the establishment I believe Barack Obama is a good man who will attempt to bring all Americans together to work for the common good. During his campaign I suggested to his people that he create a " Secretary of Citizens' Affairs " to help keep people informed and involved in government. What he IS doing is keeping in touch with his supporters through e-mails and keeping the grassroots movement he began alive. He easily could have have lost all those e-mail addys and withdrew from contact and citizen involvement. I wish him luck and may God ( if there is one ) be with him.
